Spending time viewing television programs.
文化背景
TV is often left on all day in Indonesian homes as 'teman' (a friend) or background noise, even if no one is actively watching. The concept of 'Nonton Bareng' (Nobar) originated from villages where only one person had a TV. It remains a huge part of football culture. Younger Indonesians are moving toward 'nonton' on streaming platforms, but they still use the phrase 'nonton TV' to refer to the activity of watching long-form content. During Ramadan, TV stations air special 'Sinetron Ramadan' and 'Sahur' shows. Nonton TV at 3 AM is a unique annual tradition.
